COVID-19 Update

Kinda of a glaring discrepancy in today's numbers.

At the Johns Hopkins site, the numbers indicate a pretty significant slowing, but the Worldometer numbers are higher, and show the thing running apace.

First and foremost, you have to consider the high probability of Operator Error on this stuff - it's plenty reasonable to doubt my perfection.

Second, when something looks too good to be true, one must assume there's a glitch somewhere. Check your input - there are no miracles.

Yes - 45* is that one drunken fuck at the end of the bar who's stuck in a foggy brain state where he knows he has nothing worthwhile to contribute, but he can't stand thinking he's the dumbest one in the bunch, and his need to be in on the whole thing overrides his safety mechanisms - so he just lets it rip - proving what everybody already knows, and what he's always so desperate to hide.

Ms Varda, if you please:

Once Upon A Time

...in a land quickly fading from our memory, there was a real president. But we grew stoopid and lazy, and 61,000,000 of us got snookered into believing that a guy who had never succeeded at anything but being a game show host was a good choice to lead the biggest baddest bestest country on Earth.


And here we are.

COVID-19 Update

Caution is advisable on this one, but for the first time since I started keeping track, the World Growth Rate For Cases is under the magic number 1 (0.97), which is down from 1.03 yesterday - a drop of almost 6%.

That could be significant in that it may indicate we're passing the inflection point, but it could just be a sign that we're reaching another plateau.

With the north heading into summer, and the south into winter, they're worried about the thing shifting back and forth between the hemispheres, continuing to fuck things up for as long as it takes to get the therapeutics &/or a vaccine in place.




Meantime, President Stoopid has decided not to do the daily "briefing".

He caught so much shit about his "ideas" on injecting disinfectant into patients that maybe he's finally reached his own little inflection point, and he's starting to realize that no matter what he says, he's not getting past this by throwing some weird smokey shit up in the air today in order to keep us from dwelling on the weird smokey shit he threw up in the air yesterday.

COVID-19 Update

President Stoopid's live on-air musings about how maybe we should look at using disinfectants and UV light inside the body to kill the virus caused something of a stir.



NYT:

In Maryland, so many callers flooded a health hotline with questions that the state’s Emergency Management Agency had to issue a warning that “under no circumstances” should any disinfectant be taken to treat the coronavirus. In Washington State, officials urged people not to consume laundry detergent capsules. Across the country on Friday, health professionals sounded the alarm.

Injecting bleach or highly concentrated rubbing alcohol “causes massive organ damage and the blood cells in the body to basically burst,” Dr. Diane P. Calello, the medical director of the New Jersey Poison Information and Education System, said in an interview. “It can definitely be a fatal event.”

Even the makers of Clorox and Lysol pleaded with Americans not to inject or ingest their products.

The frantic reaction was prompted by President Trump’s suggestion on Thursday at a White House briefing that an “injection inside” the human body with a disinfectant like bleach or isopropyl alcohol could help combat the virus.

“And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute,” Mr. Trump said after a presentation from William N. Bryan, an acting under secretary for science at the Department of Homeland Security, detailed the virus’s possible susceptibility to bleach and alcohol.



Poison Centers across the country have been reporting big increases in calls about toxic exposures - mostly, thank the fake lord, have been non-emergency or informational.

We keep hearing about under-reporting, so there's a fair chance that the numbers are low - both Cases and Deaths.

And there's just as good a chance that the earliest actual cases and deaths happened well before any official acknowledgement.
